** Original 1980 UK CHARISMA VINYL LP with ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE in OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT CONDITION. This LP was bought by myself in 1980, and has been played maybe 10 times since, on a Thorens turntable. It would be nearly impossible to find a better copy. **
A Near Mint condition disc. No surface marks of any sort. Shiny vinyl. No spindle marks. Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, sticking, warps, writing on labels, scuffs or scratches to vinyl. Outstanding clear sound quality throughout, with hardly any surface noise at all - which is rare for this album, as most copies have been played to death. Tested on a Thorens turntable.
Album sleeve in crisp Near Mint condition. No seam splits anywhere, no wear, writing or damage. No wear to spine, and all text still clearly legible.
Original inner sleeve in Near Mint condition. No seam splits anywhere.
Please check out all photos, as they form a part of the description. Thanks.
GRADING:
All records are graded using the UK ‘Record Collector’ format:
MINT (M):
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
UK Payment - Paypal, bank transfer, or cleared cheque from a UK bank.
Non-UK payment - Paypal only.
